Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have an interesting history – they were originally bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals in Europe in the early 19th Century. Today they are much more popular as beloved family pets but they can still be surprisingly courageous and determined when presented with a challenge. Perhaps even more fascinating is their unusual body shape – their long backs help them to maneuver through burrows and tight spaces while their short legs make them especially agile. Dachshunds exist in a variety of sizes and come in two fur coat options: smooth-haired and long-haired.
While Dachshunds do shed, they shed much less than most other breeds of dogs. They also have relatively short and fine fur which is less likely to be noticeable around the home than other breeds. As with all dogs, regular grooming and brushing is essential to keep shedding to a minimum. Regular brushing will help to remove dead fur, spread natural skin oils, and reduce tangling and matting. It's also a great way to spend some quality time with your Dachshund as they generally love the attention.
The best thing to feed your Dachshund is a high-quality commercially prepared dry kibble, as this offers a balanced diet that meets your Dachshund's nutritional needs. To ensure the food you are providing has the appropriate amount of nutrients, read the nutrient label that's printed on the packaging. It's also important to consider the age, size, activity level, and any health concerns of your Dachshund when choosing a food.
It is best to be prepared for a new Dachshund companion, so there are some essentials that should be purchased beforehand. First, a quality food and water dish is essential to keep your pup nourished and hydrated. Next, food and a bed are necessities for your pup to get comfortable and settle into their new home. Some toys, a crate, a collar and a leash are also important items for training and safety. Additionally, some extra treats, waste bags, and grooming supplies such as shampoo and brushes can help you care for your pup.
Dachshunds are considered small dogs, although when compared to other breeds of a similar size they may appear bigger. Despite their size, they are quite robust and can be a loyal and courageous companion if they are socialised correctly. The term 'big' is mostly a matter of perception, but when considering average size of domestic dogs, most people would generally agree that Dachshunds are typically considered small or medium-sized in comparison to standard breeds.
It is generally debated among Dachshund owners as to whether these popular breed of dogs enjoy, or even should attempt, swimming activities. That being said, there are certain factors that may be affecting the decision. Some Dachshunds take to swimming naturally, while others may need encouragement or give up quickly. Some factors to consider are age, health, and overall temperament of your Dachshund, as well as body type.
Dachshunds can make great family pets and can get along well with children of all ages. They have been known to be patient and loving when properly socialized from a young age. They have high levels of energy, which can be helpful in keeping children entertained. Dachshunds are also relatively small, making them suitable for homes with limited space. A key factor in helping these dogs get along with children is to ensure they receive appropriate training. This teaches them to interact and behave positively with their fellow family members.
The amount of minutes required per day to train a Dachshund will depend on a variety of factors, including the age of the dog and the desired goals of the training. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds will need to be trained anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour a day, broken up into multiple sessions, for consistency and to prevent the dog from becoming bored. A single session should not exceed 30 minutes, as this can be quite taxing for these small breeds.
